The European Values Study (EVS) and the World Values Survey (WVS) are two large-scale, cross-national and longitudinal survey research programmes. They include a large number of questions on moral, religious, social, political, occupational and family values which have been replicated since the early eighties. Both organizations agreed to cooperate in joint data collection from 2017. EVS has been responsible for planning and conducting surveys in European countries, using the EVS questionnaire and EVS methodological guidelines. WVSA has been responsible for planning and conducting surveys in countries in the world outside Europe, using the WVS questionnaire and WVS methodological guidelines. Both organisations developed their draft master questionnaires independently. The joint items define the Common Core of both questionnaires.The Joint EVS/WVS is constructed from the two EVS and WVS source datasets:- European Values Study 2017 Integrated Dataset (EVS 2017), ZA7500 Data file Version 4.0.0, doi:10.4232/1.13560 (https://doi.org/10.4232/1.13560).- European Values Study 2017: Ukraine (EVS 2017), ZA7539 Data file Version 1.0.0, doi:10.4232/1.13714 (https://doi.org/10.4232/1.13714).- World Values Survey: Round Seven–Country-Pooled Datafile. Version 2.0.0, doi:10.14281/18241.13 (https://doi.org/10.14281/18241.13). EVS 2017: The target population is defined as: individuals aged 18 or older (with no upper age limit) that have address of residence (not residential) in [country] within private households at the date of beginning of fieldwork (or in the date of the first visit to the household, in case of random-route selection). Research area: Albania (AL); Armenia (AM); Austria (AT); Azerbaijan (AZ); Belarus (BY); Bosnia and Herzegovina (BA); Bulgaria (BG); Croatia (HR); Czech Republic (CZ); Denmark (DK); Estonia (EE); Finland (FI); France (FR); Georgia (GE); Germany (DE); Great-Britain (GB-GBN); Hungary (HU); Iceland (IS); Italy (IT); Lithuania (LT); Montenegro (ME); Netherlands (NL); North Macedonia (MK); Norway (NO); Poland (PL); Portugal (PT); Romania (RO); Russian Federation (RU); Serbia (RS); Slovakia (SK); Slovenia (SI); Sweden (SE); Spain (ES); Switzerland (CH); Ukraine (UA). WVS wave 7: The target population is defined as: individuals aged 18 (16/17 is acceptable in the countries with such voting age) or older (with no upper age limit), regardless of their nationality, citizenship or language, that have been residing in the [country] within private households for the past 6 months prior to the date of beginning of fieldwork. Research area: Andorra (AD); Argentina (AR); Australia (AU); Bangladesh (BD); Bolivia (BO); Brazil (BR); Canada (CA); Colombia (CO); Chile (CL); China (CN); Cyprus (CY); Ecuador (EC); Egypt (EG); Ethiopia (ET); Germany (DE); Greece (GR); Guatemala (GT); Hong Kong SAR PRC (HK); Indonesia (ID); Iran (IR); Iraq (IQ);Japan (JP); Jordan (JO); Kazakhstan (KZ); Kyrgyzstan (KG); Lebanon (LB); Macao SAR PRC (MO); Malaysia (MY); Mexico (MX); Myanmar (MM); New Zealand (NZ); Nicaragua (NI); Nigeria (NG); Pakistan (PK); Peru (PE); Philippines (PH); Puerto Rico (PR); Romania (RO); Russian Federation (RU); Serbia (RS); Singapore (SG); South Korea (KR); Taiwan ROC (TW); Tajikistan (TJ); Thailand (TH); Tunisia (TN); Turkey (TR); Ukraine (UA); United States (US); Vietnam (VN); Zimbabwe (ZW). Probability: Multistage; Probability: Simple random; Sampling Procedure Comment: EVS 2017: The sampling procedures differ from country to country: Probability Sample: Multistage Sample Probability Sample: Simple Random Sample Representative single stage or multi-stage sampling of the adult population of the country 18 years old and older was used for the EVS 2017. Sample size was set as effective sample size: 1200 for countries with population over 2 million, 1000 for countries with population less than 2 million. 8 countries out of 16 deviated from the guidelines and planned with an effective sample size below the set threshold. Germany, Netherlands, Iceland and Switzerland, due to the mixed mode design, allocated only part (50% or more) of the effective sample size to the interviewer-administered mode. Sample design and other relevant information about sampling were reviewed by the EVS-Methodology Group (EVS-MG) and approved prior to contracting of fieldwork agency or starting of data collection. In case of on-field sampling EVS-MG proposed necessary protocols for documentation of the probabilities of selection of each respondent. The sampling was documented using the Sampling Design Form (SDF) delivered by the national teams (see the EVS2017 Methodological Guidelines, Sampling). The SDF includes the description of the sampling frame and each sampling stage as well as the calculation of the planned gross and net sample size to achieve the required effective sample. Additionally, it includes the analytical description of the inclusion probabilities of the sampling design that are used to calculate design weights. WVS 7: The sampling procedures differ from country to country: Probability Sample: Multistage Sample Probability Sample: Simple Random Sample Representative single stage or multi-stage sampling of the adult population of the country 18 (16) years old and older was used for the WVS 2017-2020. Sample size was set as effective sample size: 1200 for countries with population over 2 million, 1000 for countries with population less than 2 million. Countries with great population size and diversity (e.g. India, China, USA, Russia, Brazil etc.) are required to reach an effective sample of N=1500 or larger. Only 2 countries (Argentina, Chile) deviated from the guidelines and planned with an effective sample size below the set threshold. Sample design and other relevant information about sampling were reviewed by the WVS Scientific Advisory Committee and approved prior to contracting of fieldwork agency or starting of data collection. The sampling was documented using the Survey Design Form delivered by the national teams which included the description of the sampling frame and each sampling stage as well as the calculation of the planned gross and net sample size to achieve the required effective sample. Additionally, it included the analytical description of the inclusion probabilities of the sampling design that are used to calculate design weights. Face-to-face interview: CAPI/CAMI Face-to-face interview: PAPI Telephone interview: CATI Self-administered questionnaire: Web-based Self-administered questionnaire: Paper EVS 2017: Mode of collection: mixed mode Face-to-face interview: CAPI (Computer Assisted Personal Interview) Face-to-face interview: PAPI (Paper and Pencil Interview) Telephone interview: CATI (Computer Assisted Telephone Interview) Self-administered questionnaire: CAWI (Computer-Assisted Web Interview) Self-administered questionnaire: Paper In all countries, fieldwork was conducted on the basis of detailed and uniform instructions prepared by the EVS advisory groups. The main mode in EVS 2017 is face to face (interviewer-administered). An alternative self-administered form was possible but as a parallel mixed mode, i.e. there was no choice for the respondent between modes: either s/he was assigned to face to face, either s/he was assigned to web or web/mail format. In all countries included in the first pre-release, the EVS questionnaire was administered as face-to-face interview (CAPI or/and PAPI). The EVS 2017 Master Questionnaire was provided in English and each national Programme Director had to ensure that the questionnaire was translated into all the languages spoken by 5% or more of the population in the country. A central team monitored the translation process by means of the Translation Management Tool (TMT), developed by CentERdata (Tilburg).WVS wave 7: Mode of collection: mixed mode Face-to-face interview: CAPI (Computer Assisted Personal Interview) Face-to-face interview: PAPI (Paper and Pencil Interview) Telephone interview: CATI (Computer Assisted Telephone Interview) Self-administered questionnaire: CAWI (Computer-Assisted Web Interview) Self-administered questionnaire: Paper In all countries, fieldwork was conducted on the basis of detailed and uniform instructions prepared by the WVS scientific advisory committee and WVSA secretariat. The main data collection mode in WVS 2017-2021 is face to face (interviewer-administered). Several countries employed self-administered interview or mixed-mode approach to data collection: USA (CAWI; CATI); Australia (CAWI; postal survey); Canada (CAWI); Hong Kong SAR (PAPI; CAWI); Malaysia (CAWI; PAPI). The WVS Master Questionnaire was provided in English, Arabic, Russian and Spanish. Each national survey team had to ensure that the questionnaire was translated into all the languages spoken by 15% or more of the population in the country. WVSA Secretariat and Data archive monitored the translation process; every translation is subject to multi-stage validation procedure before the fieldwork can be started.
